Award-Winning Private Geometry Tutoring in Shelby County, TN

We did an extensive review of chapter 2, section 1-3 in his textbook to prepare for his quiz on Wednesday. After, we went back to where I had left off during summer tutoring and covered chapter 13, section 1, which discussed the distance formula and the equation of a circle centered at any coordinate. He seems very prepared for his quiz and understands the concepts very well.

We discussed flowchart and paragraph proofs; as well as completed a few flowchart proof examples. We then completed his homework, which involved understanding the relationship between angles as well as solving for multiple variables in a geometric image. It would be useful for him to sit down and memorize the theorem names and definitions before even more are introduced in class. He was left with some problems in his workbook and asked to circle any of the ones he does not understand so we can discuss them next time.

We discussed his geometry homework on postulates and basic theorems, and I quizzed him for his upcoming quiz. He needed only a little help because he knew most of the material. Even when he makes mistakes, he learns how to fix them quickly or even before I have explained things.

We discussed the distance formula and midpoint formula of the student's homework. He needed to understand the equation of a circle and how to plot the circle. He already gave his homework a try. I verified to see if he understood the process and answers. I answered any questions he may have.

We discussed the student's performance in all of her classes, and developed some areas of focus. For this lesson, we focused on geometry (test on Wednesday) and Spanish (test on Tuesday). For Spanish, we worked on past tense and present tense verb test study, and had a discussion about first, second, and third person conjugations. We developed a system for her to begin to memorize her conjugation charts. For homework, she will practice one chart a day (there are five) before her test, and make and practice a vocab list. For geometry, we worked on studying for her quiz on Wednesday. We made notes for studying for her quiz and began looking at her geometry homework. She seemed comfortable with much more of her homework after we discussed it.

We finished a project of designing a city based on various requirements. Math concepts involved including parallel lines, transversals, alternate exterior angles, consecutive interior angles, vertical angles, and correspondent angles.
